Sauerland inks Juergen Braehmer

Just before Saturday’s championship fight between Arthur Abraham and Robert Stieglitz in Berlin’s O2 World, former WBO light heavyweight world champion Juergen Braehmer (38-2, 30 KOs) signed a promotional contract with Sauerland Event. “I want to fight again and again become world champion,” said Braehmer, who lost his title after pulling out of three consecutive defenses. His trainer will be Karsten Rower, who worked with former IBF middleweight king Sebastian Sylvester. “I’m very happy,” concluded Braehmer. “With Sauerland I’ll again have a professional partner on my side. I look forward to working together.”
